In life, there are few things that are for sure. Death and taxes being the most commonly known. But, I can tell you this much...ole' Mr. Nesser is definitely in the new Tony Hawk Ride game and Familia is definitely up in that shit too. Check these secret screen grabs I nabbed from Activision. Oh...and Elwood????

Just found a copy of the newest Adio ad with our own Steve Nesser handlin' the old pillsbury ledges. Keep your eyes peeled for the December Transworld...there just might be a full interview coming out with this guy.

Get on down to BLB. You know...Bryant Lake Bowl. Every 3rd Wednesday of the Month Familia Skateshop brings you DUDE'S NIGHT. It's hosted by a famous DJ, there will be cheap drinks, cheap eats and some familiar faces. We spared no expense bringing you this legendary master of the turn tables. Come check out his handy work...every 3rd Wednesday.

What are your 3 favorite tricks? Feeble to Back Smiths, Front Lips on ledges and plain old Heel flips

What's your favorite skate spot (not limited to my hometown)? My favorite skate spot would have to be the general area of minneapolis and st. paul, very fun vibe every time i go

If you had a million dollars what would you do with it? If i had 1 million dollars i would pay for the rest of the skate plaza in st. cloud, pay off my car and buy some 20s so i can finally roll fat, i hate hub caps

What's your favorite place you have travelled to? The favorite place i have traveled to is probably.... um well i went to willy wonka's chocolate factory in a dream once, does that count?

If you could go anywhere, where would you go and who would you bring with? If i could go anywhere it would have to be spain with with the crew, i hear you go pro there if you can drop in so that would be sick.
